A sad accident occurred ON Back
Creek, on Tuesday, by which Mr..
VIM. Thomas met his death by drown
ing. He was engaged in hauling logs
across the creek, when the horse he was
riding began to plunge and fell in the
water, the horse rose the first time
with Mr.. Thomas on his back, and
again fell, when Mr.. Thomas was
thrown off and probably stunned as
he did not rise, and when his body
was rescued life was extinct. The
deceased was an old man, probably
70 years of age and was very highly
esteemed as an industrious and hon
est man, by all who knew him.

DIED..
IN MEMORIAM


OF Mrs. MARY FAHERTY, who died after NJ
illness of several hours, ut Comp Hill. thi
county. aged So years. II months and 26 days
An aged mother, q husband and q children
mourn her loss.
Days of sorrow have passed
Since thou, loved one fell asleep,
Hours of lonely sadness.
Since we first began to weep.
Thy loved ones oft recall again.
And linger on each cherished tone.
They cluster round that couch of pain
And scarcely feel that thou art gone.
But. o! they meet the vacant chair,
That smile OF love no ,nore they sec;
The mothers voice. it is not there.
Aud anguish whist c where is shc?"
Where is she for whom we weep,
And where the light OF that Iund eye;
Deep curtained in eternal sleep,
Could she. the loved. the cherished die?
II this were all, how sad 'twould be
To lingcr near thy quiet grave,
And cen affections tribute see,
Or mark the myrtle gently wave.
But from that quiet, lowly bed
There comes a sweet. 4 heavenly voice,
That lifts the bowed and stricken head,
And bids the mourning soul rejoice.
1t tells of Heavens enduring light.
Where streams of living beauty roll,
Where severed spirits reunite,
And soul is met by captured soul.
Then, fare thee well beloved one;
One of that bright. celestial throng,
Who swcctly bow before the throne
And sing the everlasting song. A. f.

Senator Lucas, Governor Wilson 3
appointee, in lengthy letter to- the
Legislature, informs that body that
he will not be present, rs he does not
believe that an election of Senator
would he legal.
The circular claims that inasmuch
as resolutions have been introduced
in the Legislature looking to the re-
opening of the Senatorial contest, he
feels it his duty to suggest the method
Of preserving inviolate our State Con-
stitution without violating the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. He
claims that this is purely an executive
session of the limited Legislature,
with no power to enter upon any bus
mess not stated in the Governors
proclamation. Ee contends that so
far as the Constitution of the United
States is concerned it refers to only
ordinary and fully endowed sessions
and not to limited executive sessions
for the reason that when the clause
referring TO the election of United
States Senator was framed limited
or emasculated Legislature was I'M
known. He cites cases and incidents
to back his idea and concludes the
lengthy production by saying that if
this Legislature adjourns without
electing, and especially if 1T passes
a resolution declaring that it has no
power to elect under our State Con-
stitution, the apprehension of non
representation in the Senate will fall
to the gre I'd and that tire appointce
will, in hi opinion, be accorded his
seat withcIt a contest, while on the
other hand, if the Legislature does
elect, a contest will be precipitated
which may result in the defeat of
both appointed and elected. He says
he will maintain his title throughout
every contingency and vicassitude,
because by this course alone can he
uphold the inviolabiflty of tire State
Constitution and carry out the spirit
and obvious intention of the trainers
Of the Constitution of the United
States.

Music's Power Over Idiots.

1t has been stated that idiots appear to
most advantage when under the influence
of music, and that there are very few
cases which are unaffected thereby. Thus
we are told how new life is infused into
these unfortunate persons by the harmony
OF sweet sounds; "all exhibit pleasure;
some move their bodies in time to the air
which is played, others sing after their
own fashion; some even Of the most tor
pid when looking on for some time as some
Of their less apathetic companions dance,
suddenly become animated, start up and
dance in their own way"
Mr.. Plott, in his History of Stafford
shire,'' relates the case of an idiot who,
CHANGING to live within the sound of a
clock, and always amusing himself with
counting the hour Of the day whenever
the clock struck; the clock being spoiled
by accident, the idiot continued to strike
and count the hour without the help of il,
in the same manner as he had done when
it was entire. Indeed, in mental cases
music from the earliest period has been
considered highly efficacious, and it is
recorded how both Pythagoras and Keno
crates cured maniacs by melodious sounds.
Coming down to modern times, much has
been written on the subject and expert
ments of various kinds made with more or
less success. Gentleman Magazine.
